Statement
|
|
My life is a constant juggle. I have several things that are very important to me - listed in the following order of importance:
1) Relationship with my family
2) Relationship with God
3) My art (Painting, Singing, etc.)
4) My job (Logistics)
With family and God at the top of my list, the art "career" and the logistics "career" are sometimes at odds. I need to work to pay for bills, and it satisfies my business side. However, I need to paint.. and sometimes.... "business" gets in the way. My goal in life is to find a means of blending these two disparate activities into a unified whole. My art is a visual representation of this internal struggle. I attempt to bring a bit of whimsy and a great deal of color to scenes of average men and women at work (and sometimes at play). My paintings are to celebrate the art of living.
